Tearfund partners with Compassion International to offer children in need of a hope more powerful than poverty. There’s nothing better than knowing you’re making a real difference in the life of a child. Here’s how it works:
Choose the child you’d like to connect with and sponsor them. They’ll attend a programme run by the local church to learn, grow, play and develop.
Get to know your sponsored child through letter-writing. It’s quick and easy to write online, and letters have a powerful effect.
Your support gives a child life-changing opportunity to develop spiritually, socio-emotionally, physically and economically.
From $56 a month, you can help provide your sponsored child with:
Educational support and vocational training
A safe place to learn, play with friends, and grow
Nutritional support to treat and prevent malnutrition
Character and confidence-building opportunities
An opportunity to hear the Gospel and grow their faith
Emergency support in times of disaster and crisis
A loving church community and healthy relationships
Regular medical checkups and immunisations
Love and support through your own correspondence
SPONSORSHIP MEANS...
“When I was seven, I was shining shoes in the streets. When I was 14, I was fixing and assembling computers. And when I was 23, I was already an IT Manager for a group of companies in the east of Dominican Republic. Because someone decided to invest in my life. Because someone decided to sacrifice so I could have opportunities.”
Tony Beltran, National Director of Compassion Dominican Republic
“One day I shared my dream with my sponsor in a letter. I told her I wanted to become a doctor when I grew up. Her reply was simple: ‘Yanelly, I love you and I believe in you.’ Sometimes you can’t believe in a dream until someone else believes it with you. Today, I’m a doctor, a wife, and a mother to a precious daughter of God. My dreams came true.”
Yanelly Suero, Doctor from Dominican Republic
“Before sponsorship, I experienced hunger, as my family’s small piece of land was our only source for food. But sponsorship changed my life. I received a scholarship to go to university and finished my MA in Plant Science. Now, I’m studying for my PhD in the United States so I can focus on food security and how we can create policies to help more farmers like my mum have enough to eat.”
Collins Bugingo, PhD student from Uganda

Sponsor a Child
What started as a sponsorship journey between two mums grew into a deep friendship. Oceans apart, Andrea from Australia and Nova from Indonesia realised they wanted the same for their growing boys – a loving family, to know their Creator, and a future full of possibilities.
Watch Andrea and Nova meet face-to-face for the first time in Indonesia.

A former sponsored child, Ariane Sagusara-Mapula, grew up in a family that faced many challenges.
Whether you are a child sponsor or are thinking about becoming one, here are seven ways your support can help transform a child’s life.
Eight-year-old Egodine lives in a small community in northwestern Burkina Faso, where there is no easy access to safe water or electricity. So, when she heard her Compassion centre was digging a new borehole at the church, she was excited to watch every step of the journey.
